Dana 30 regear, pattern verification

[Noslo65]

Dana 30, Revolution 4.88, Truetrac.
.008 backlash
15 inch/lbs
.065 pinion depth

This is my 2nd pattern, the first was shallow. I started with the original slinger, it was shallow so I added .006 to get to Revolutions recommended.065. I thought I would be too deep but does this look good as is?

I would try to go a bit deeper and see what happens.

 

[Noslo65]

Great,

 

[Noslo65]

Added .004 and reset backlash to .008.

 

[hosejockey61]

That looks good to me

 

[Noslo65]

Thank you!

 

[Noslo65]

For the sake of learning I added .002 to see if it changed to being too deep. Better or worse? Again, just trying to learn.

I would say worse since I can't see any pictures!

And good for you to experiment to find the best possible pattern!

 

[Noslo65]

Crap, sorry.

I would say you only needed to add 1 thou instead of 2. That pattern just starts to show that it's leaning towards deep. It's still a runnable pattern though.
